“A happy stay”
It’s historical building and nicely decorated. Location wise, it’s right at the centre. It’s easily accessible to all the places where we have to go.

“Expectations for the stay weren’t fully met”
The photos are a bit misleading. I booked this place after seeing the beautiful space with high ceilings, antique statues, and large sofas. But in reality, the area provided for guests is on the ground floor and includes a bed and one sofa. All the lovely statues and large sofas are on the upper floor, where the host lives. The kitchen is also not shared – in your room, you’ll only have a kettle and a small coffee machine. Spacious enough for three people. It's an old historic building in the heart of the city. Overall, the place is quite unique. Beautiful furniture, interesting details. Very clean! The host is kind, welcoming, and always available to answer questions. The accommodation is located in the lively Palermo neighbourhood, full of bars and restaurants. At night, it gets crowded with young people, and in the morning, restaurants open, trash is collected, and so on. It’s very noisy, so getting a good night’s sleep can be difficult. But if you’re looking to enjoy the nightlife, it’s a great location. Keep in mind that the building is old, so it’s damp and chilly inside. There are also mosquitoes. The host provides one electric repellent, but it’s not enough. Unfortunately, our expectations for the stay weren’t fully met

The room is very big and the location is very good, close to the train station and bus station. I can reach any tourist attraction on foot.

“Apartment in Palmero”
Rosi was a great host and offered us lots of local knowledge and information. The linen was very clean and freshly washed. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The location was excellent.
